After breakfast, Abel followed Bartoli to the Wizard Union in Liante City. It wasn't a long journey, and it only took about 10 minutes to arrive at a white granite dome that was half in the middle of a magic circle made of 36 magic towers.
After leaving Black Wind and Chocobo in the mount area, Abel paid an intermediate gemstone to the apprentice who was looking after them and walked into the Wizard Union.
As soon as he walked in, a strange scanning energy scanned his body. He knew this was a necessary precaution of the Wizard Union. There were many places in the Wizard Union that were filled with mana. This security measure was not only to prevent non-wizards from entering, but also to prevent normal people from being eroded by mana.
In the Wizard Union, there were more wizards here than in any other Wizard Union that Abel had been to before. As he glanced around, he saw more than 10 official wizards, including 2 intermediate wizards.
In the entire Duchy of Duchy of Carmel, including Wizard Willie who was guarding Miracle City, there were only 4 wizards in total. It should be a very normal time, but there were more than 10 official wizards here. How many wizards were there in Liante City?
After glancing around, Abel saw a very eye-catching reception area in the middle of the hall. There was a young rank 4 novice wizard who was talking to a wizard.
According to Abel's previous experience, if he wanted to deal with wizard matters in the Wizard Union, he would first have to go to the reception area and apply. Then, the reception area wizards would help him find the appropriate staff to deal with it.
Just when he was about to bring Bartoli to the reception area, a shadow flashed in front of him. It was a wizard wearing a light golden robe.
"Guru Abel, I am Wizard Lorenzo from the Liante City Wizard Union. Welcome to the Liante City Wizard Union!" Wizard Lorenzo crossed his arms in front of his chest and gave Abel a wizard bow.
"Wizard Lorenzo, nice to meet you. I didn't think you would recognize me!" Abel said with a wizard bow.
Although Abel was a rank 6 wizard and had just entered the threshold of becoming an official wizard, his power of the will was very strong. He also had the intuition of a Great Knight, so he could sense the powerful energy of Wizard Lorenzo in front of him. It was even stronger than the energy he felt from Wizard Cliff. Wizard Lorenzo was an advanced wizard, and his rank should be higher than rank 16.
"All the information in Liante City is automatically processed by the spirit. We set up a warning system for some important people. When you first entered Liante City yesterday, we already knew you were coming. We were going to visit you later today, but we didn't expect you to come to the Wizard Union already!" Wizard explained with a smile.
"Wizard Lorenzo, I came to the Wizard Union today as a wizard. I want to become an official wizard in the Liante City Wizard Union!" Abel said with a smile and a bow. Ever since he became a Grandmaster Blacksmith, his identity as a blacksmith had been recognized by wizards to a large extent.
The recognition of a blacksmith's identity was closely related to the blacksmith's ability. A Grandmaster Blacksmith was a good friend of almost every Knight, and even a Great Knight would want to be friends with him. This was because a Grandmaster Blacksmith could make the best equipment that a Knight could use.
A Grandmaster Blacksmith would almost certainly be able to make magic staffs, and if they were very proficient in magic circles, they could also make all kinds of magic items. Of course, the most important thing for a Wizard was to have a good magic staff, because other magic items were only auxiliary, and a good magic staff could directly increase the effect of a spell attack.
"Guru Abel, you've already passed the bottleneck of an official wizard?" Wizard Lorenzo knew how old Abel was, and he also knew when he started his wizard studies. It had only been two years, and he had already become an official wizard.
Of course, Wizard Lorenzo would not doubt Abel's words. Abel no longer needed to use his identity as an official wizard to improve himself. His identity as a Grandmaster Blacksmith was already enough to receive the respect he deserved in any duchy or empire in the Holy Continent.
"It's just that after being wanted by the St. Ellis Wizard Union, I've been through a lot of hardships on the run. That's why I've grown so quickly!" Abel said with a faint smile.
Wizard Lorenzo's face twitched a little when he heard this. If a wanted man could get promoted just by running away, which organization in the world would dare to put up a bounty on him?
"Guru Abel, please come with me. This is not the place to talk!" Wizard Lorenzo quickly said to Abel. He realized the wizards and apprentices around them had begun to notice them.
"After you!" Abel said with a bow.
Wizard Lorenzo was just about to lead the way when he noticed Bartoli following behind Abel. He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
"Mr. Lorenzo, I am Guru Abel's steward. My name is Bartoli!" Bartoli did not use the wizard bow. Instead, she bowed like a noble.
Not only was Wizard Lorenzo's face twitching, but his eyes were twitching as well. He had heard of this female wizard before. She had just registered a few days ago, and there was no record of her. But now, she had become an intermediate wizard. This had caused quite a stir in the Liante City Wizard Union. Every wizard needed inheritance, opportunity, and luck. None of these were lacking.
A wizard without an inheritance like Bartoli was definitely an anomaly, but every wizard had their own secrets. Therefore, even though the Wizard Union had some questions about her identity, they didn't ask too much.
Bartoli had no choice. Although she had been learning spells and her body was slowly recovering, she still needed to join the Wizard Union if she wanted to integrate herself into the wizard system in the Holy Continent.
Therefore, when Abel asked her to come to Liante City alone, he asked her to find a way to become a wizard. However, Bartoli could not perfectly cast the other spells she had learned during the exam, so she could only use the "firewall" spell.
Although Bartoli purposely slowed down her "firewall" spell, it was still faster than a normal intermediate wizard. Therefore, the Wizard Union recognized her as an intermediate wizard and gave her a double magic staff badge.
What Wizard Lorenzo could not accept was that an intermediate wizard like this was Abel's steward. Since she was a steward, it meant that Wizard Bartoli had joined Abel's family as a normal person. It was almost like she was Abel's hired thug.
Wizard Lorenzo threw the shock to the back of his mind and led them to half of the Wizard Union's protection circle that was set up by 36 magic towers.
As soon as they entered the circle, Abel could feel the obvious surge of mana. Although the mana here was not as dense as a normal magic tower, it was still enough for a novice wizard to meditate here.
Seeing Abel's shock, Wizard Lorenzo smiled and explained, "The reason why the Wizard Union is divided into two is because half of it serves the wizards in the outer circle, and the other half serves the wizards in the inner circle."
"Are there a lot of wizards here?" Abel asked curiously. He thought the outer half of the Wizard Union already had a lot of wizards, but according to Wizard Lorenzo, the outer half was only for the wizards in the outer circle. The real wizards were gathered in the inner circle.
"Actually, the Liante City Wizard Union has another name. It's called the Wizard General Union. It's just that we don't care about power, and those who do will be transferred to the Wizard Union of the 3 big kingdoms to play their favorite power games!" Wizard Lorenzo said with a hint of mockery in his smile.
"I don't get it. Why is the Wizard General Union not interested in power?" Abel knew that wizard training required a lot of resources, and resources were a byproduct of power.
